"I live in the Appalachian Mountain’s of Virginia where mountain traditions lead to many types of crafting. As a 5th generation quilter my roots have shown me why I love to craft so much and why instinct has lead the way. Nothing has ever intrigued me like paper crafting and I look forward to sharing my ideas with you." - Kathy

The Bo Bunny paper made this project so much fun to do. You can purchase the 12 X 12 sheets and a 6 X 6 pad. I like seeing the large scale versus the smaller scale in a design. They also did some cute embellishments, I used a few of the sparkles on the stars […]

One of my favorite things to do is mini albums. So I decided to put this design team project together to give it a try. Love the way it turned out and hope to do more minis in the future!
